How to Use the OpnForm MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does my team get shared access to OpnForm with VS Code Copilot?

You configure the OpnForm MCP server in the .vscode/mcp.json file and commit it to your Git repository. Anyone who clones the project and uses VS Code Copilot will automatically have the tools available.

Q: Can I create a new OpnForm form for my project using VS Code Copilot?

Absolutely. Just open the Copilot chat and ask it to createform with the details you need. It's a fast way to scaffold forms while you're coding the features that use them.

Q: How do I check for new OpnForm submissions with VS Code Copilot?

Ask Copilot to listsubmissions for a specific form ID. It will fetch the latest entries from your OpnForm account and display them in the chat.

Give your entire dev team shared access to manage OpnForm directly within VS Code Copilot.

Team-Wide OpnForm Access in VS Code

This isn't just for you; it's for your whole team. By adding this MCP server to your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every developer who pulls the repo gets the same set of tools. It standardizes how your team interacts with OpnForm. Now, a backend developer can use `create_form` to set up a new endpoint, and the frontend developer automatically has the tools to query it. No more passing around form IDs or API specs in Slack. It's all in the editor.

Sync Form Development with Code

Keep your forms and the code that uses them in lockstep. When you refactor a feature, you can use `update_form` right from the Copilot chat to add or remove fields. When a form is deprecated, `delete_form` cleans it up instantly. Because this MCP server is tied to your editor, it becomes part of your development workflow. You can manage your form's lifecycle just like you manage your code, all within VS Code.

Manage Workspaces and Submissions

Get a clear view of your project's landscape. Use `list_workspaces` to see all the OpnForm projects your team is running. From there, you can `list_forms` and `list_submissions` to inspect data or debug issues without opening a browser. This is especially useful for support tasks or data validation. Your agent can `get_submission` by its ID and show you the exact payload, helping you track down bugs faster. You can also clean up bad data with `delete_submission`.

Setup guide

Set up OpnForm MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the OpnForm MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the OpnForm tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent OpnForm transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opnform-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Ask Copilot to `list_submissions` for a specific form ID. It will fetch the latest entries from your OpnForm account and display them in the chat.

Yes. The server itself is ephemeral and stateless. Access control is managed by the OpnForm API key, which you should store securely using your organization's secret management tools.

The server acts as a secure proxy. It uses your API key to fetch form and submission data from OpnForm's API only when you invoke a tool. The data passes through the server to Copilot but is never stored or logged by Vinkius.
